there’s been a lot of updates going on with some of my favorites technologies and most of them have been blogged to death… here’s my cliff-note version

iPhone: damn i want one. where’s the API? Web 2.0 without Flash? i don’t think so…. Prediction: Adobe Air is the first ‘third-party’ software to appear on the iPhone allowing developers to create applications using Flash/Flex along with CSS/AJAX. …. say, doesn’t the Air runtime use the Safari WebKit? hmmm….

Leopard: cool Finder improvements … love the CoverFlow view. Finally, a ‘unified‘ look… nice.

Safari 3: Now for Windows. … found a bug – registration form wouldn’t work on a blogspot site… cool feature that you can resize any HTML textfield.

Flex 3: downloaded the Flex Builder beta… haven’t played with it yet. Open Source.. cool. Deeplinking… cool. Smaller Flex apps by caching the Flex framework in the Flash Player… uber cool. it’s exciting to see this great tool getting better…. lot’s to new stuff to keep up with!

Adobe Integrated Runtime (Air): the cross-operating system runtime formally known as Apollo finally gets it’s official moniker.

Flash Player 9 update: mip mapping! multithreading! full-screen hardware scaling! caching of the Flex framework! yay!

Path Finder: update to 4.7 – finally fixed the bug where you couldn’t open .as files by double-clicking on them.
